Kremer Porsche 935 K3

The Porsche 935 K3 in Jägermeister design from Kremer Racing in Cologne was one of the most successful racing cars in
the seventies and has not lost it's fascination to this day. At the Porsche 934 Turbo, the
brothers Erwin and Manfred Kremer started to implement their own concepts and ideas. With the introduction of Group 5, the first assembly of a Porsche 935, called K1, was implemented according to
the Group 5 specifications. The K1 was followed by the K2 and the two brothers caused a stir with this development. To save weight, the entire front section, the hood including the rear spoiler,
the rear fenders and the doors were replaced by self-designed GFK parts. All plastic parts weighed only 70 kilos.

The greatest success followed in 1979 with the Kremer Porsche 935 K3. The basic body of the Porsche 930 Turbo delivered from Zuffenhausen served as the
basis, complemented by the aerodynamic and feather-light GFK garment. Special air intakes on the 935 K3 directed the cooling air and intake air to the radiators, engine and brakes. Everything was
aimed at as much downforce as possible. To make the entire vehicle stiffer, the tubes of the roll cage were extended to the suspensions. This had the positive side effect that some parts of the
body could be replaced by lighter and easier to disassemble parts - especially for service work on the engine. The key to the success of the Kremer Porsche 935 K3, however, was the intercooler,
which, unlike the factory cars, cooled the intake air for the two KKK loaders not with water but with air. As a result, the three-liter boxer engines were able to deliver their full potential of
around 800 horsepower over the entire race at 8,000 rpm, while the power in the competitors with increasing intake air temperature
dropped.

The whole package was right. Bilstein produced special shock absorbers for the 935 K3 - Behr supplied the grids for the radiator - Jägermeister became a
sponsor and provided the most striking Kremer Porsche 935 K3 livery with the Jägermeister Orange and the deer head logo.

The successes were evident with the victory in Le Mans and the title of DRM both on the racetracks and on business. A total of 13 models of the K3 were
built and sold depending on the version between 350.000 and 375.000 marks. In addition, conversion kits have been offered that allowed teams to rebuild their 935 Series to K3
specification.

It is always a special pleasure to see and hear a Kremer Porsche 935 K3 - so enjoy the moment, when the time comes.
